Section 11: Fluids
Goal: To understand the properties of matter in static and dynamic conditions.
Objectives: Students will be able to:
- Describe the four phases of matter and what distinguishes each phase
- Calculate and use density and specific gravity to identify substances.
- Define and calculate liquid pressure
- Explain and apply Archimedes principle and be able to calculate the buoyant force
- Explain Pascal’s principal and relate it to hydraulic systems in common use.
- Use Pascals principle to make calculations for hydraulic systems
- Explain how atmospheric pressure is measured and be able to calculate and convert between various measures of atmospheric pressure.
- Explain the Bernoulli principle and relate it to flight
Labs: Density, Archimedes and Boyle's. There will be many in class demonstrations to observe that are testable.
